It is chucking it down at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. If finding out if a grown man needs a hair cut is more your sort of thing, join Scott Murray for West Ham v Manchester United. Get this in your ears. “Leeds United and Shrewsbury Town fan here, both in action tonight, wondering how they’ll get on, ” writes Jeremy Boyce. “Frankly, if the Nasties can scramble a nasty point at the Bridge tonight it will be a miracle, you never know, there is history between these two, ask Eddie Gray or David Webb. As for Shrewsbury, another doomscroll relegation six-pointer tonight at home to mighty Barrow, a fixture that takes me back at least 40 years to my early days live footie. 2 - 2 40 years ago If memory serves. A point would serve us well tonight. As for the rest, it’s score draws all the way isn’t it ? Unless Nuno can spoil Carrick’s party time. Or otherwise Norwich, I’m betting on them making the play-offs, any takers “Shame there isn’t a mid-week coupon to send (ask yer dad). ” Big night for the Shrews. I do still write Leroy Rosenior and need to correct myself. Liam Rosenior looks chipper. I’ve been to a few Newcastle games in recent weeks and they’ve been very flat, so I have a very narrow opinion of their overall performance but it feels like a team that needs waking from a malaise.

Get yourself primed for Everton v Bournemouth! This feels like a significant night. The Liam Rosenior revolution continues apace at Chelsea, where he has four wins in as many league games. A victory tonight and Manchester United slipping up at West Ham would put the Blues into the top four. Leeds gave Nottingham Forest a good pummelling and will think they can ruffle some feathers at Stamford Bridge, especially having defeated Chelsea at Elland Road a few months ago. Eddie Howe admitted on Monday he would be willing to quit as Newcastle head coach if he thought he was the problem. Something is going wrong with the Magpies, sitting 12th in the Premier League and putting in mediocre performances most weeks. Speaking of under pressure coaches, Newcastle are in Tottenham tonight, where Thomas Frank is desperately waiting for a turnaround in form. Seeing off Newcastle would be a useful start because if Spurs do lose and Leeds get a point tonight, the North Londoners will drop down to 16th. Furthermore, Everton are playing Bournemouth. 7. 30pm GMT kick-offs: Chelsea v Leeds
